I'm more than happy to read Kevin Raber on MF photography, because he seems to know the subject inside out, but does he really know iPhone photography inside out? Or is this just a fad he picked up? If he has to write on iPhones, will he dedicate as much time and effort to the MF stuff that he does really well, and that many people here are interested in?
I suspect you don't know Kevin personally? I do...Kevin knows MF, DSLR, mirrorless and iPhone about equally...Kevin is all about capturing IMAGES...he really cares less about the technology than the image. Some of Kev's best images have come smaller format/iPhone cameras.
I'm really a bit shocked by the arrogance exhibited by some in this thread...image making is about image making. Who really cares about the equipment?
Those people who are insecure about their process...I went to RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology). As a school they were very, VERY slow to adopt digital photography. Why?
Their tenured professors were scared to death by new technology. And I mean
SCARED TO DEATH! When faced with new technology, all their private, personal processes went out the window...kinda like old'sters facing an iPhone and Hipstamatic approach to image making.
Chill out old'sters...the old style landscape photography will continue for a while. It's the younger crowd that is migrating to iPhones & social media for consumption of images. You see the dichotomy between Kev & Michael...Kev is into it (he wrote the article) and Mike is less enthused...it represents the LuLa crowd pretty well.
Note, I still get a kick out of giving Kevin crap for shooting images with his iPhone instead of a "real camera" when out shooting with him. But hey, that's just me!
